After eight years of development by our staff, ACP-WEB.COM (Antique and Collectible Prices) now delivers what every collector, dealer, and appraiser has always needed... Current Reference and Prices based on Condition! ACP-WEB.COM is the originator of the "on-line" Antiques and Collectibles Price guide. We are growing as fast as we can to become the largest reference source available for descriptions, photographs, and prices. ACP-WEB.COM will also report on what is being reproduced and /or faked. We will answer the "Why is this not original?" question. Our selection of photographs and markings will help you determine the originality of a questionable object. Markings are important to collectors; ACP-WEB.COM contains markings found on objects. This, over the next few years, will surpass the most elaborate references now available. ACP-WEB.COM is only a reference, selling nothing but knowledge and information. We are not in competition with sellers or auction houses; ACP-WEB.COM is here to assist you in determining the authenticity and current condition-based price. Our home office staff has over 80 years of collecting experience. Key personnel have written books and magazine articles published in three countries. The work experience of our staff includes: time with national museums, appraisals, and market research. This has enabled our staff to create a detailed reference tool for the collector instead of the usual generic descriptions. This information has been assembled by collectors, for collectors.
As you explore the Today our management team consists of the following:
